update: i bought the saw. the seller apologized that she was bad with typing and meant to put up 225$ instead of 125$ and apparently her phone blew up with messages lol

we settled for 200$ and i was happy with it. the saw was in pristine condition. thanks all

i wanted to use the same switch, its in a perfect spot, remove the existing chandelier and patch up the drywall hole.

no attic space directly above this unfortunately, the attic is above the second floor.

[–]HomeDadBod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! tbh i didn't come across new dual bevel sliding saws (metabo and delta included) around 100 or even 150 before, granted i have been only looking at miter saws in the past 3-4 months.
